hey mate here is your answer:

Explanation:

A mulch is a layer of material applied to the surface of soil. Reasons for applying mulch include conservation of soil moisture, improving fertility and health of the soil, reducing weed growth and enhancing the visual appeal of the area.

A mulch is usually, but not exclusively, organic in nature. It may be permanent (e.g. plastic sheeting) or temporary (e.g. bark chips). It may be applied to bare soil or around existing plants. Mulches of manure or compost will be incorporated naturally into the soil by the activity of worms and other organisms. The process is used both in commercial crop production and in gardening, and when applied correctly, can dramatically improve soil productivity.

List of Natural Mulch Options

  • Wood Chips and Bark. Wood chips and bark are among the mulches most commonly used in landscaping.
  • Cypress Mulch. Cypress is one of the most popular mulches used in gardens today.
  • Straw.
  • Pine Needles.
  • Cocoa Bean Hulls.
  • Other Organic Mulch Materials.  
  • Rocks.
